The course begins with the context of welfare state and the role played by it with respect to providing safety net for marginalized groups. Special emphasis will be provided on the organisation of social welfare at the national and provincial levels in India. In the second unit, the emergence of voluntary sector and the supportive role voluntary organizations play in social welfare will be discussed. The current challenges facing the voluntary sector will also be explored. The third unit deals with governance and legal accountability frameworks associated with managing voluntary organizations. The final unit is designed as a skill building capsule. Key skills associated with planning, managing and evaluating voluntary action will be explored through hands-on exercises Social policy is how a society responds to social problems. Any government enactment that affects the well-being of people, including laws, regulations, executive orders, and court decisions, is a social policy. A broad view of social policy recognizes that corporations and both non-profit and for-profit social-service agencies also develop policies that affect customers and those they serve and therefore have social implications.
